Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a diverse group of chemical substances that readily evaporate into the air at room temperature. These compounds originate from various sources, including industrial processes, vehicle emissions, household products, and natural sources such as vegetation. Common VOCs include hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, and benzene derivatives, among others. VOCs contribute to air pollution and can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, including respiratory irritation, ozone formation, and the formation of secondary pollutants such as smog. Due to their volatility and potential health risks, VOC emissions are regulated in many countries, with limits set for different industries and products to reduce environmental impact and improve air quality.
